It's all relative isn't it?

Our Mimi was an escape artist as a baby and even though we had stair gates and a safety gate on her bedroom door she managed to get down to the kitchen one night and have a midnight feast with the dog whilst we were asleep! We'd got things in the fridge ready for a party the next day and her and the dog scoffed the lot!!

She was probably safer without the safety gates than she was with them and climbing over them.
